Zhang Yi shook his head, still not satisfied with Lao Zhong's economic mind after all, and asked, "Lao Zhong, it's not me that I said you, you are also an old man at home. How much money do you think you can make just two kilograms of meat with a chicken? Even if the government doesn't ask about the price, it's the limit to increase the price you said. We are so sad about the two money."

If you don’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive, the entire Viscount Mansion will cost you forty or fifty knots of money in a month. If you don’t eat a 100 knots of money in the village at that time, you will not be able to take it down at all.     When you see that the copper coins at home flow out like water every day, even if you have money, it will not fall from the sky, right?

"Young Master, what do you mean?" Old Zhong hurriedly asked for advice.

Lao Zhong was absolutely impressed by his young master's ability to make money. Now, he obviously didn't think it thoroughly. He planned to hear how the young master made money.

"If I want to buy chickens and ducks, I will definitely pick the mother. Think about it, this mother can lay eggs!" Zhang Yi sat on a stone stool and then slowly said: "Locusts are born with very rich protein. If the raw eggs are not only white but also large, we only need to let the people in the village put them from our Zhangjiazhuang to Chang'an. Do you think how many eggs can we pick?

Besides, we will let chickens and ducks help people get rid of locusts in the fields. Do you think the owner of the farmhouse door is suitable for insect removal? In this way, we can sell eggs, and those farmers can make some extra money, and then sell them again. How much can you make?"

This account cannot be settled because Lao Zhong feels that he is really old.

Whether it is eggs or the so-called deworming fee, it is a considerable income, and even these incomes have made several times the profits of chickens and ducks themselves. This principle is very simple. Chicken and ducks originally have to lay eggs when eating, and they naturally need to pay for helping others to do their work, but why didn’t I think about it?

"Then... I'll go back and chase Lao Liu and the others quickly. I've only been interested halfway. It's still early now, so we'll pick out the rooster and duck and return it, maybe it's still time!" Lao Zhong said as he was about to pull Wu Laoshuan to run towards Chang'an.

He felt that if the money from buying roosters and ducks was used to make a female chicken and duck, the family would have at least several times more income. As the housekeeper, he felt that he was ashamed of the old lady’s trust in him and now he had to remedy it.

"Forget it, don't go!" Zhang Yi waved his hand calmly. Not to mention whether the return is successful or not, just driving thousands of chickens and ducks back is not an easy job. So he said, "Since you have bought it, come back. There should be at least half of the hens and ducks here. It's too early to feed it, so we can't feed it. If you hatch some chickens and ducks, you can't hatch it without the rooster and duck vibrator!"

"But, young master, it's just spring now, I'm afraid I can't hatch in such a cold day?" Wu Laoshuan asked in confusion.

Although he has tried the bonuses brought to him by Xiangrui Orange, as an authentic farmer, he still feels that Zhang Yi’s idea is a bit wild. The cold weather means that the possibility of a hen holding a nest is very small. Even if a hen is willing to hold a nest, keeping warm in the cold weather is a problem. In this case, it is impossible to hatch a baby.

Old Zhong also thinks it is not reliable. If the young master is talking about other things, he still thinks it is feasible, but isn’t this an obvious fact? I’m just kidding me when I just started spring.

Although neither of them believed Zhang Yi's words, they did not make fun of him. It was enough to say everything. They believed that Zhang Yi's wisdom would definitely show problems.

But Zhang Yi's words completely disappointed the two.

Zhang Yi was puzzled and said, "Who said that the beginning of spring can't hatch?"

Suddenly, the two of them felt nervous. This was not what anyone said at all, but the fact was that! If they were hatched in the nest in spring, wouldn’t it be a mess?

"Young master, it's just the beginning of spring, and it's impossible for hens and ducks to hold nests. If they really make eggs like this, they will become fur eggs, and all the boys will freeze to death in the eggshell!" In the end, Lao Zhong spoke.

It’s not that he wants to say it, but that he has to say it! The Viscount’s Mansions don’t see it, but if the young master is embarrassed all over the street, the consequences will be great.

Let’s not talk about how the young master will meet people when he goes out in the future, the old lady will not be able to get through. If the young master really becomes a joke in Chang'an City, the old lady can go on a hunger strike for a month!

"This is not simple. Since the weather outside is cold, won't we build a greenhouse?" Zhang Yi finally understood what the two of them meant and said indifferently: "You can do your business, and you can also see if the duck shed and chicken shed on the riverside have been prepared. Lao Liu will arrange a few people to pick them up. It is not easy to get so many chickens and ducks back!"

As he said that, Zhang Yi entered the house, picked up a brush and started drawing pictures. In his opinion, it was very easy to build a greenhouse. There was a completely enclosed brick house and a large kang inside. As long as the temperature was controlled, it was no different from the artificial incubation process of using electric lights in later generations.

When the old lady saw her grandson locking herself in the house to draw, her old face immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Although she didn't want her grandson to become an official in the court, she felt very comfortable seeing her grandson being praised by others. Even His Majesty values ​​her grandson so much, which is definitely a very proud thing for her. I just don't know what good things her grandson wants to make this time!

I just drew the drawings of the northern kang in later generations. After reading them, I was not very satisfied. As a special hatchery in Zhangjiazhuang in the future, I had to increase it. If I hatch hundreds of chickens and ducks alone, it would probably not be enough for firewood. Zhang Yi decided to make it bigger. Chicken and ducklings are definitely a business that can be sold at the farm or sold.

Because for civilians, beef and mutton are almost insulated from them, and pork is not available at any time, so chickens and ducks have become the main meat they can use for teething sacrifices or entertain guests at any time. A big chicken weighing only five pounds can be sold for twenty cents, while a small chicken costs only five cents. For civilians with green grass everywhere, the extra income of fifteen cents is like a free pickup.

As for how much effort it takes to chicken and duck, anyway, the women and children at home are fine. Can they be the ones who don’t raise chickens and ducks?
